Hi all. I'm looking to get a leopard tortoise. I was wondering if this one looks healthy? It's the only one I have found locally. I know of fauna and kingsnake but I was hoping to find one in my area before having something this fragile shipped across the country.. I'm told it originally came from Ben Siegel, I'm not sure if it was from one of the auctions or what.
I don't have any experience with tortoises or turtles. I currently have a tegu, a lewisi hybrid iguana and 2 dogs (amstaff and a pit mix). I am well aware of the costs to keep reptiles, the space isn't an issue. I do plan to keep the tortoise in my room for a while, its easier to monitor humidity and temps. I use MVBs for my lizards but I also take them out a few times a week for some natural light. I would take the future tort outside as well. Ideally, I would house it outside during the warmer months and move it inside during the winter.
Anyway, here are the pics. Thanks for the help.
